I don’t disagree with the premise. I may disagree encrypted hard drive by default a sensible choice

such a “hack” would only work in a poorly written tv show

an unencrypted drive is like being able to look into a bank though a window, not ideal but things of value could/should/would still be in a safe or somewhere else completely

Almost no Linux distro has disk encryption turned on by default (PopOS being the major exception).

it’s usually an option in the guided disk partition

If an unencrypted computer is now unacceptable on Android, then it should be on Linux too. No excuses.

Linux is about choice, not whatever someone else thinks it’s acceptable

We were trying to be reasonable and compromise… I know, how naive of us

Now that the streaming industry plunged head first into enshitification, we are back to our previously held practices

added to wishlist

always and forever

Add “brown nosing spinless wimp” to the list of acceptable descriptors of Spez

I’d never want to pay 2,500 for a phone… tht’s just insane

I don’t think feeling sad in this situation is dumb at all

I’m with you in your pain Linux brother/sister… I’ll drink a pint in your name tonight

What’s “reddit” and why does Lemmy seem obsessed with it?

is anime a form of Piracy?! One Piece I guess?!

Same here… even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because “it was the best way to get the news” and left in about 4 days

why are people frothing over Bluesky? this is just Twitter but owned by a different oligarch

The paste does not go back in the tube…

I didn’t really need another reason to love Debian more but here we are… I’m donating to Debian today

but the King overheard and thought “I have to make lentils so much more expensive then…”

What data? they one OpenAI illegally obtained first?!

The USA is already behind… and education is a thing that takes decades to pump or destroy. Even if the USA turns ship now (and they are not) the damage has been done for at least 2 generations of students.

The damage has been mitigated by importing so many smart people from elsewhere… but even that is getting destroyed so there is no saving it anymore

agreed, we are making the same point. Very little in the world of investment seems to be based on actual value anymore

100% right
